History & Origin

Izzak is a modern respelling of Isaac, from the Hebrew Yitzhak, 'he laughs.' The bold double z gives one of the oldest patriarchal names a fresh, contemporary look, while its meaning is unchanged.

It was never common in this spelling, given to only about fifteen boys a year even at its peak around 2012, while Isaac itself was widely loved. A boy named Izzak belongs to the youngest generation.

Did you know? The name Isaac is tied in Genesis to laughter, since both Abraham and Sarah laugh at the news that they will have a son in old age, and the child is named for that joy.
